Marc Burty

Marc Burty (French: [maʁk byʁti]; 18 February 1827, Lyon – 2 February 1903, Lyon) was a French composer and music teacher for Lycée de Lyon who also went by the pseudonym, Georges Bull,^[1] in some of his works. He became interested in the harmonium after building a relationship with Alfred Lefébure-Wély in Paris who introduced him to the instruments,^[2] in which Burty later taught the instrument in the Lyon-based institution. He mainly wrote music pieces for the piano and were published in Paris between 1859 and 1900.^[3]

Legacy

In America, his works were considered to be well-adapted for teaching purposes.^[4]
